37:1 Facta est super me manus Domini, et eduxit me in spiritu Domini, et dimisit me in medio campi qui erat plenus ossibus.
37:1 The hand of the Lord was upon me, and brought me forth in the spirit of the Lord: and set me down in the midst of a plain that was full of bones.
37:2 Et circumduxit me per ea in gyro : erant autem multa valde super faciem campi, siccaque vehementer.
37:2 And he led me about through them on every side: now they were very many upon the face of the plain, and they were exceeding dry.
37:3 Et dixit ad me : Fili hominis, putasne vivent ossa ista ? Et dixi : Domine Deus, tu nosti.
37:3 And he said to me: Son of man, dost thou think these bones shall live and I answered: O Lord God, thou knowest.
37:4 Et dixit ad me : Vaticinare de ossibus istis, et dices eis : Ossa arida, audite verbum Domini.
37:4 And he said to me: Prophesy concerning these bones; and say to them: Ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.
37:5 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus ossibus his : Ecce ego intromittam in vos spiritum, et vivetis.
37:5 Thus saith the Lord God to these bones: Behold, I will send spirit into you, and you shall live.
37:6 Et dabo super vos nervos, et succrescere faciam super vos carnes, et superextendam in vobis cutem, et dabo vobis spiritum, et vivetis : et scietis quia ego Dominus.
37:6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will cause flesh to grow over you, and will cover you with skin: and I will give you spirit and you shall live, and you shall know that I am the Lord.
37:7 Et prophetavi sicut præceperat mihi : factus est autem sonitus, prophetante me, et ecce commotio : et accesserunt ossa ad ossa, unumquodque ad juncturam suam.
37:7 And I prophesied as he had commanded me: and as I prophesied there was a noise, and behold a commotion: and the bones came together, each one, its joint.
37:8 Et vidi, et ecce super ea nervi et carnes ascenderunt, et extenta est in eis cutis desuper : et spiritum non habebant.
37:8 And I saw, and behold the sinews, and the flesh came up upon them: and the skin was stretched out over them, but there was no spirit in them.
37:9 Et dixit ad me : Vaticinare ad spiritum : vaticinare, fili hominis, et dices ad spiritum : Hæc dicit Dominus Deus : A quatuor ventis veni, spiritus, et insuffla super interfectos istos, et reviviscant.
37:9 And he said to me: Prophesy to the spirit, prophesy, O son of man, and say to the spirit: Thus saith the Lord God: Come, spirit, from the four winds, and blow upon these slain, and let them live again.
37:10 Et prophetavi sicut præceperat mihi : et ingressus est in ea spiritus, et vixerunt : steteruntque super pedes suos, exercitus grandis nimis valde.
37:10 And I prophesied as he had commanded me: and the spirit came into them, and they lived: and they stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
37:11 Et dixit ad me : Fili hominis, ossa hæc universa, domus Israël est. Ipsi dicunt : Aruerunt ossa nostra, et periit spes nostra, et abscissi sumus.
37:11 And he said to me: Son of man: All these bones are the house of Israel: they say: Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost, and we are cut off.
37:12 Propterea vaticinare, et dices ad eos : Hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Ecce ego aperiam tumulos vestros, et educam vos de sepulchris vestris, populus meus, et inducam vos in terram Israël.
37:12 Therefore prophesy, and say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will open your graves, and will bring you out of your sepulchres, O my people: and will bring you into the land of Israel.
37:13 Et scietis quia ego Dominus, cum aperuero sepulchra vestra, et eduxero vos de tumulis vestris, popule meus,
37:13 And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have opened your sepulchres, and shall have brought you out of your graves, O my people:
37:14 et dedero spiritum meum in vobis, et vixeritis : et requiescere vos faciam super humum vestram, et scietis quia ego Dominus locutus sum, et feci, ait Dominus Deus.
37:14 And shall have put my spirit in you, and you shall live, and I shall make you rest upon your own land: and you shall know that I the Lord have spoken, and done it, saith the Lord God:
37:15 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens :
37:15 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
37:16 Et tu, fili hominis, sume tibi lignum unum, et scribe super illud : Judæ, et filiorum Israël sociorum ejus : et tolle lignum alterum, et scribe super illud : Joseph, ligno Ephraim, et cunctæ domui Israël sociorumque ejus.
37:16 And thou son of man, take thee a stick: and write upon it: Of Juda, and of the children of Israel his associates: and take another stick and write upon it: For Joseph the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel, and of his associates.
37:17 Et adjunge illa unum ad alterum tibi in lignum unum : et erunt in unionem in manu tua.
37:17 And join them one to the other into one stick, and they shall become one in thy hand.
37:18 Cum autem dixerint ad te filii populi tui, loquentes : Nonne indicas nobis quid in his tibi velis ?
37:18 And when the children of thy people shall speak to thee, saying: Wilt thou not tell us what thou meanest by this?
37:19 loqueris ad eos : Hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Ecce ego assumam lignum Joseph, quod est in manu Ephraim, et tribus Israël, quæ sunt ei adjunctæ, et dabo eas pariter cum ligno Juda, et faciam eas in lignum unum : et erunt unum in manu ejus.
37:19 Say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel that are associated with him, and I will put them together with the stick of Juda, and will make them one stick: and they shall be one in his hand.
37:20 Erunt autem ligna super quæ scripseris in manu tua in oculis eorum.
37:20 And the sticks whereon thou hast written, shall be in thy hand, before their eyes.
37:21 Et dices ad eos : Hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Ecce ego assumam filios Israël de medio nationum ad quas abierunt : et congregabo eos undique, et adducam eos ad humum suam.
37:21 And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I will take of the children of Israel from the midst of the nations whither they are gone: and I will gather them on every side, and will bring them to their own land.
37:22 Et faciam eos in gentem unam in terra in montibus Israël, et rex unus erit omnibus imperans : et non erunt ultra duæ gentes, nec dividentur amplius in duo regna,
37:22 And I will make them one nation in the land on the mountains of Israel, and one king shall be king over them all: and they shall no more be two nations, neither shall they be divided any more into two kingdoms.
37:23 neque polluentur ultra in idolis suis, et abominationibus suis, et cunctis iniquitatibus suis : et salvos eos faciam de universis sedibus in quibus peccaverunt, et emundabo eos : et erunt mihi populus, et ego ero eis Deus.
37:23 Nor shall they be defiled any more with their idols, nor with their abominations, nor with all their iniquities: and I will save them out of all the places in which they have sinned, and I will cleanse them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
37:24 Et servus meus David rex super eos, et pastor unus erit omnium eorum. In judiciis meis ambulabunt, et mandata mea custodient, et facient ea :
37:24 And my servant David shall be king over them, and they shall have one shepherd: they shall walk in my judgments, and shall keep my commandments, and shall do them.
37:25 et habitabunt super terram quam dedi servo meo Jacob, in qua habitaverunt patres vestri : et habitabunt super eam ipsi, et filii eorum, et filii filiorum eorum, usque in sempiternum : et David servus meus princeps eorum in perpetuum.
37:25 And they shall dwell in the land which I gave to my servant Jacob, wherein your fathers dwelt, and they shall dwell in it, they and their children, and their children's children, for ever: and David my servant shall be their prince for ever.
37:26 Et percutiam illis fœdus pacis : pactum sempiternum erit eis. Et fundabo eos, et multiplicabo, et dabo sanctificationem meam in medio eorum in perpetuum.
37:26 And I will make a covenant of peace with them, it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will establish them, and will multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for ever.
37:27 Et erit tabernaculum meum in eis : et ero eis Deus, et ipsi erunt mihi populus.
37:27 And my tabernacle shall be with them: and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
37:28 Et scient gentes quia ego Dominus sanctificator Israël, cum fuerit sanctificatio mea in medio eorum in perpetuum.
37:28 And the nations shall know that I am the Lord the sanctifier of Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for ever.
